lMickin nnd storage plant now on
its third motitii of operation.
Said to be one of the finest of
Its kind In the world, the now
Medford pre-coollnj; and pccklnc.
plant has been studied during and
since its completion . by experts
from various parts of the country.
It has become one of the slht
refine attractions for visitors to lh
valley.
Pci-Mnmel
Hut as interesting as is the
plant It self, the personnel respon
sible for Its origin is even more so.
Composed of a band of growers
whose homes and orchards are
nd have for many years been situ
ated in the valley, these Medford
Ites Kot together and decided to
run competition to the alder estab
lished commission houses in New
York city. Accordingly, a few
yenrs ao, they opened their own
Bab's office! down on Franklin
street, where, deafened by the crb-rf
of deciduous aiid citrus wares Trom
every fruit growinn locality in the
country, they did their stuff for
Kokuc Itivor Valley.
Other sales merchants1 of the
big rity. In pito of recocnlzlnpr the
KUperior quality of Rogue Hiver
Valley poara were handicappod in
."dmlttlng It publicly, even for the
sake of effecting their sale. They
owed the same allegiance to other
locilities whose fruits und product-
they were nlso marketing.

t Ml nlKHt.-VftfrcriV -by tho loc:J
! groyprjj?at diffcreiit times during
the year, a close contact between
.Medford and Hie New York office
was maintained. '
Next came the pbniH for the
elaborate Xi!00.000 packing, pre
; coollm; and storage plant locally.
: which completed the system, and
brought Medford leagues nearer
the markets of the world through
the threshold of New. York.
With Leonard Carpenter presi
dent, Colonel Vorhie, vice presi
dent. Corning Kcnly. treasurer, Al
fred Carpenter, secretary. Chanler
Kuan a member of the board, and
Paul A. Scherer. general manager,
the executive staff of the plant is
highly representative of Uogue
Iiiver Valley's leading industry.
The administration building to
the south of the pb nt, with its
large, well lighted offices and busy
workers is an interesting Introduc
tion to the 10 by 70 foot packing
and storage building proper.
f NWorkers Con-ddeml
Here every effort has been con
centrated on the production of ef
ficiency, ecoiomy and comfort for
Hie workers. With n constant tem
perature, which on hot dny is at
least 1.1 dcerens cooler than out
hide, nnd a lighting system which
precludt-s eye strain, tho large
staff of packers and soHcrs easily
turn out nruttml 10 car loads n day.
A laboratory, where tests for
hpray residue are made by nn ex
pert every 20 minutes an original
cushion cleat placid on the boxes
'for the protection of the fruit in
shipping and S. O. S. patented
conveyors arc some of tho fea
tures of this new plant.
Then there Is the pump, below
the packing shed, brought from
the drainage district of Louisiana,
and of the type used to handle the
flood waters of the Mississippi,
which here, pumps three thousand
gallons of water per minute
through the flumes of the parkin
house. There are the uctd pump"
w.hch Bornl 2TiO gallons of m id per
